Local Tofu?

[berga_mot]

Wondering if anyone has a favourite brand of tofu for flavour, or know of any restaurants serving tofu they make themselves?

i like superior over sunrise in terms of tofu products...
however as for soy milk, i buy from that tofu place in crystal mall market...the black sesame kind..

if you head to Sunrise market on the corner or Gore and Powell, you will see the full assortment of all there products. it's great for fresh fruit and veggies too and Asian products in general

Oh I didn't actually know the market is part of Sunrise Soya.

For tofu brands - both Sunrise and Superior are very good. I like Sunrise's wider range of products and I like Superior's egg tofu. You can't go wrong with either.

I like the tofu they make in store at Excellent Tofu & Snacks in Richmond. They are located at 4231 Hazelbridge Way.

I also like the housemade tofu at O'Tray Noodles in President Plaza food court in Richmond.

I agree with Sam that Sunrise also produces a good product - their organic soft tofu (sold as Soyganic brand) is excellent.

+1 on the tofu "brains" soup at O'Tray -- had it today, as a matter of fact. Delicious with a shaobing stuffed with Chinese donut from the soy stand in the corner.

++1 on the tofu brains at OTray!

Why is it called tofu "brain" in Chinese ?

PS: I feel like tofu-brained on Monday AMs and Friday PMs ......

[fmed]

I don't really know. I guess it has the same consistency as brain? (It is also called tofu "flower".)

[LotusRapper]

Ah yes. My parents call sweet dessert tofu "doufu hua" or just 豆花, dou hua.

Had a really good tofu dish at Shanghai Village today. It is on special for $1.99 (reg $3.99) and may only be on their lunch menu. It is called Chin-Wai Soft Tofu.

Superior Tofu is the other local manufacturer. Been around since the '80s.
